History

Over the years, the story of Kernersville’s history has been considered a tale or even a rumor. It is said that an Irishman named Caleb Story received a land grant for the area that would eventually become Kernersville. When he decided to leave the area, he sold the land for just 4 gallons of rum. Eventually, a man named William Dobson owned the land and built an inn and store on the property, which he eventually passed onto Joseph F. Kerner in 1817. The town officially became Kernersville in 1871, and 20 years later, the population had reached about 1,000 people. Other nearby towns were closer to the railroad and Wooden Plank Road, which served as major transportation hubs during that time, but Kernersville benefitted from its proximity to large communities.

In 1973, Kernersville resident Brady Mullinax began an effort to distinguish the honeybee as North Carolina’s state insect. He traveled with a group of people to the state legislature in Raleigh that same year, and the legislators subsequently named the honeybee as the state’s official state insect. Two years later, Kernersville held its first Honeybee Festival, which still happens every year to celebrate Mullinax’s efforts.
